Nigeria has cut its electricity supply to Niger after West African neighbors imposed sanctions on the junta that ousted the country’s elected leader last week, a Niger power company source said on Wednesday.

“Since yesterday, Nigeria has disconnected the high-voltage line transporting electricity to Niger,” a source at Niger’s power company Nigelec told AFP.

Niger depends on Nigeria for 70 percent of its power, buying it from the Nigerian company Mainstream, according to Nigelec, the country’s monopoly supplier.

Looks like they need an energy specialist. When will Joe be sending Hunter in to fix the problem?

You truly disgust me. You always side with Victoria Nuland and the Democrats.

On those pictures of Earth at night from space, all the lights are in the big cities of the US, civilized areas of Europe and so on. Barely anything in Africa.

They will have to light a single candle rather than curse the darkness.

Are you all right?

Should I remind you that it’s the West African neighbors who imposed sanctions on the junta that ousted the country’s elected leader last week, a Niger power company source said on Wednesday.

America has nothing to do with the electricity being cut to Niger.

Also, when are you going to stop supporting the Globo-Russia-China-North Korea-Iran axis !??

Well it’s a Nigerian company exporting the electricity to Niger. They got orders from The Nigerian Government to stop exporting the electricity.

Lets not forget that some days ago the African Union gave an ultimatum to the Junta to give up or else...

Now they are cutting electricity. It’s only the beginning...

Not to worry, Nigeria has ascertained there are no black children in Niger, so they are safe from black on black Genocide, a favorite manipulation of subjects by French Colonialism in the past.

It seems your new instruction manual from Langley is telling you to use the “opposition’s own words” like: “deep-state,” “neo-soviet,” and “globo.”

Don’t go so heavy, because its a bit obvious.

90% of Niger’s population never had electricity to begin with, so most people won’t notice. But those in power will… I wonder who they will ask to build them a power plant? Hint: not France, and not the USA

“ They got orders from The Nigerian Government to stop exporting the electricity.”

My point precisely. It’s very much the MO of The US gov/CIA to interfere. Sad to say, but it’s true.

A lot of Russian and Chicom propagandists.

They try to push false logic that because Biden admin and our establishment are bad that Chicoms and Iran and N. Korea and Putin are good.

It’s weak and these shills are always weak.

MUCH more likely it’d be the French involved. Niger was France’s 2nd largest Uranium supplier in 2022, and that is a very big deal for France. Moreover, a French Company, Orano, owns very large stakes in 3 Uranium mines in Niger.

It is true France has several Uranium suppliers, but of the top 5, only Australia, at #4, is someone I’d consider “truly reliable”.

As a general comment (applies to more than just this thread), Earth is a big place (by human comprehension) and most of what goes on, on it, doesn’t orbit around the USA.

Jackson Hinkle used to be a regular left-of-Bernie weirdo, who ran for some small Californian town council and didn't get elected.

After that he reinvented himself as a MAGA communist. He claims that Comrade Trump is secretly a communist too and will turn America into a communist country once he beats the Deep State.
